signs to show that they have gone up
hill. That's where they will be maxim
for all the time, an you have to
watch the lay of the land all the time to
jedge where tits that they are likely to
go. Your knowledge of the country
comes in there, of course, to help or
hinder 'cOrdin' to what you know and
what you don't know. Finally when
you make up your mind about where
they're goin' you have to plan how to
get around in front Of them. 1t is pos
Slble, OF course, that you may overtake
them before this: it happens quite often,
IN which case all you have to do is to
shoot as well as you know how: but as
a general thing guess the hunter has to
get around the top of a hill. What he has
to look out for most is the wind. What
ever way the wind blows he must go so
as to face it. This may make it neces-
sary to go out of your way two or three
miles, but you have to do it, for you
don't want the deer to scent you. If you
get along all right you are quite likely
to come up to several deer browsing or
layln' down on top of the hill, all within
easy range.
"That's the one way to kill deer, it
seems to me. The deer has every show
to get away. A deer can run faster
1htli you cdil, IL KNOWS Une WOODS Deuter,
an it can scent you a long way off as
well as hear hundred times better
than you can. You don't take no un-
fair advantage of the animal in still
huntin'. There's no deceivin' of 'em
with salt lickS. no worritin' 'em with
hounds. no waitin' for 'em in the dark
where they come to feed or drink. It's
more sport to go OH the still
hunt unless man thinks that sport
is nOthin' more'n shootin' at deer near
to. But we fellers up here don't kill
deer for sport. you know. We want the
venison to eat, an on a still-hunt man
stands as good show as he needs OF de-
serves of gettin' all the venison he
wants. The law don't let man kill
more'n three deer to a season now, but
before that was made | went out one
fall an in five weeks killed twenty-five
of 'em.
II remember one hunt that I always
feel sorry about. 1t was jest after a
snowfall an | got onto some tracks
early in the day. They were two of 'em
''parently, goin' on together between
here an Clifton. l followed 'em up

burned track. But some time or other
you'll find place where deer has been.
Then you have to make up your mind
how long it was sence they was there.
A hunter gets to understand such things
from practice; YOU can't tell nobody.
But ef you make up your mind that the
deer has been there not long before,
then you have to be awful careful how
you act. The main thing you've got to
do, you understand, is to come up to the
deer without bein' seen. That's diff
cult, for deer is almighty sensitive, an
eff the wind is blowin' from you in the
direction the deer have took, you might
jest as we'll go home as to try to follow
them up along of their tracks. They
can scent you long way Off, an eff they
do that they'll likely git the start of you,
and then goodbye venison.
But Fll come to that. The general
thing is that you'll find the. deer has
been feedin' where their tracks are and
gone on some time before: You then
have to follow 'em3 up carefully. locking
for some place where they have laid
down. or some sign to show where thew
was a headin' for. But you never can
tell just how far away they may be, an
you have to go forard accordin'ly. You
jest have to take one step forard am
stop, an look around, an peek around,
an keep lOokin' around, and then you
take another step forard, and look around
an look around, and then you take
another step, an SO on. AM you have
to be darnation particular not to smash
twigs an make any noise with your
feet. Why! it's the slowest burned
progress you'd ever seed. Many an
manys the time I've taken half an
hour to go a half a mile, an I'll bet
there's hunters as will tell you bout
takin' al hour to do as much.
"Well, byembye you'll come to some
spot where it's plain they have laid
down.
"How do you tell that?'
"Oh, you can't miss it. They make a
regular bed of it right in the grass or
bushes. An you look at it am look at
it. an p'raps you'll decide they WANT
there long ago, am then you have to
keep goin' on an goin' on, just as you
did before only good deal carefuller.
Your main objec', as said, is to come
up to the deer without bein' seen. an

they have been a layin' down an the
marks seem fresh like. YOU look for

an him went up the hill to take in the

there aint no camp built near,
you have to gather bark from fallen
trees an rig up the best shelter you can

along very well till mornin' less it

know the habits of the deer and the
places they are likely to go for food,
build crude resting place, generally
in tree, and clear away the brush un-
derneath. They mount to their perches
at night and sit mOtiOnlesS so for hours,
OF until a deer comes in the way. 1t is
no less tireSOme to the novice than float
ing, for at the slightest movement to
change the position of cramped limbs
the guide will utter warning and
angry "S-S-S-Sh!" And it often hap
pens that the guide calmly reclines on
the one board in the perch, leaving the
tender amateur from the city Hobson'S
choice of sitting astride small limb,
which, the guide assures him, is much
the easiest position.
Both these methods of going for veni-
son are used freely by the inhabitants
of the woods, but there are many guides
who disapprove them. The guide will
take the visitor floating or licking at re-
quest, but for himself, when he is after
genuine sport, he will go on the still
hunt. This form of the chase is seen at
its best after light snow, but it is much
used in the autumn before snow comes.
Donald Stewart, one of the guides of
the Cranberry Lake region, will hunt in
no other way. Speaking of the sport to
the writer he said:
"When you're on the still hunt you
give the deer show. You've just got
to be pretty smart to get a deer that
way and when you've got him, eff you
do, you en- feel as how you deserve him.
None of your doggin' deer for me. for
then the deer can't git away at all. It's
jest as well that style of huntin' is for
bid by law. An in fioatin' an lickin'
you jest set still an wait for the game
to show up. Eff the deer has mind to
come that way, all you have to do is to
hit him, and most: anybody can do that
as hasn't got the buck fever too burned
bad. But in still huntin' you have to
hunt and be mighty particular how you
do it, too. That's sport for you. don't
want any fiOatin' for deer in mine. /
don't feel half right in shootin' a deer
when he comes into the water jest to
look at your jacklight."
"Just what is still hunt, Donaldr'
"Why, it's jest like this: You take it
in winter after light fall of snow, or
even in the fall when there amt no
snow, an you go out loollin' for the
deer. The law don't let us hunt for
deer at all after the 18th of November,
so taint no use talkin' bout snow hunt
in. But s'pOSin' it's fail an you've
gone out with your gun a-lookin' for
deer. You know to start with, of
course, bout where they'd ought to be,
an you go right there. Praps you'll
find their tracks right away. an praps
you'll tramp half day or so before
you do, an I've known a whole day t %

head of the hunter just above the left
eye. 1t is fitted into leather cap and
when the hunt begins weighs about
half pound. Two hours later it
weighs ton. 1t is a sacred rule of the
chase that the hunter shall not touch
the jack from the moment it is placed
on his head until the deer is
shot or the hunt abandoned. And it is
not proper to brush away the mosquitoes
and midgetS that may choose to make
an attack on the face aud neck. for any
gesture might be mistaken by the guide
as a sign that a deer had been sighted.
So the insects and jack together COM
bine tortureS almost intolerable to any
but the experienced hunters. The
writer knows for he has been there. and
he suspects that one reason for the cumu-
lati0n of horrors is the desire of the
guides to make the city man respect the
hunt and the professional hunters as
ing is also called floating" be-
cause the hunter sits in a boat
which is propelled noiselessly and very
slowly about the pond near the shore by
the guide. Almost any of the innumer-
able lakes and ponds of the Adirondack
region is good place to float, but those
that arc covered with lily pads are the
best. The deer make such ponds feed
ing ground as well as watering place
and come down TO them at all hours of
the night. They may also be found
there in the day time if the hunter has
good luck, but in that case he does not
float for his game but hides behind
bushes or sits stock still on a log for half
day and more without daring to wink.
In floating the excitement and recon-
pense for the long wait and torture comes
when the amateur hunter sees in the
rushes by the shore two balls of fire ap-
parently about six inches apart. Those
are the eyes of deer, and are invisible
unless the light of the jack is thrown
directly upon them. Deer who have
never been shot at. and some that have
experienced that trial, will stand still
looking wonderingly at the jack. They
cannot see the hunter and the hunter
cannot see them. Once the eyes are
sighted it is the object of the guide te
paddle the boat into shooting distance
If this cannot be done without alarming
the game the hunter has to take his
chances by firing toward the eyes. Ii
nine cases out of ten the deer will turn al
once and dash into the forest. An expert
enced guide can tell usually by the way
he deer jumps whether or not it has
been hit No attempt is made to follow
